...with the V.O.A. back in 1976, two months before she shared first place in the prestigious Metropolitan Opera national auditions. Her lustrous soprano voice handles high notes with authority, and her acting is good enough for Broadway. She manages to crystallize certain moments: a softened look at James (Jake Gardner) even as they feud; a coquettish triumph as queen of her ball...
...than ever, to the benefit of their checkbooks and their readers, crime and mystery writers work at other professions. Britain's Don Rumbelow (The Complete Jack the Ripper) is a London bobby; Los Angeles Cop Joe Wambaugh only recently quit the force. In the tradition of Erie Stanley Gardner, many are lawyers, notably Harold Q. Masur (Bury Me Deep), Francis ("Mike") Nevins Jr. (Publish and Perish), Joe Hensley (A Killing in Gold), and, of course, Englishman Michael Gilbert, creator of the Patrick Petrella series and, be it noted, the author of Raymond Chandler's will.

...Gardner Auditorium in Boston filled up slowly Thursday morning. The Joint Judiciary Committee had not vigorously publicized its public session on Bill H4632. Reporters and cameras and microphones and pages and staff aides were around, but relatively few citizens entered the hallowed halls of state government.

"We felt that the portrait lacked Mr. Kissinger's expression-the dynamism which exudes from him," said State Department Curator Clement Conger. Cox will be paid $700 in expenses...
...from the John Hancock Building, and stop when you see a horse to your right. The building behind the statue is the Museum of Fine Arts, featuring an exhibit of Rembrandt etchings. Beware--the MFA is closed on Mondays, but open every other day. Other points of interest: The Gardner Museum and the Museum of Science. While at the Science Museum, stay for evening shows in the Hayden Planetarium of a laser musical, Lovelight, and what is billed as a laser light spectacular. These will be showing all week; call the museum for times...
